Open html in custom page
Hi pros,

I read a couple of tutorial in there one is about this plugin by joel
Here

One thing I am unable to view the examples when I run the example for Modern UI

This is an error that came out from the example script by joel.

I am trying to use these function

Function "ShowHTMLControl"
!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "Testing nsWeb plugin" "You are watching file1.htm"
nsWeb::ShowWebInPage "$PLUGINSDIR\file1.htm"
FunctionEnd

Function "ShowHTMLText"
!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "Testing nsWeb plugin" "You are watching plain HTML text"
nsWeb::ShowHTMLInPage "<b>I'm a <u>HTML text</u></b>"
FunctionEnd

but unable to success due to I still do not understand how could this be done.

any help is appreciated

I edited Joel's .onInit and it compiled on my PC:

Function .onInit
InitPluginsDir
# Drop everything into the $PLUGINSDIR on init.
# For quick calling at its time
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\nsWeb.dll "${NSISDIR}\Plugins\nsWeb.dll"
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\file1.htm "file1.htm"
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\file2.htm "file2.htm"
FunctionEnd

Use "" around the filenames and it works
CF

thanks alot CancerFace

Could I pop in more questions if you do not mind

1. Is there a way to resize the popup html windows??
2. is there any limitations to this because I do not see any information about it.
